Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its chemical resistance, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and piezoelectric and dielectric behavior, making it an ideal material for additive manufacturing (AM). The first part of this paper provides an overview and demonstration of this potential, with the first section reviewing PVDF materials, crystallographic phases, and fused deposition modeling (FDM) processing. This perspective provides practical guidance for optimizing PVDF AM for engineering applications, as well as the potential for artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workflows to inform future research.
